Cotto may never be the same
Just watched the Margo V Cotto fight again...
Cotto performed at the highest level possible, literally the man put on a clinic.
The bombs that Cotto was landing on Margo were devastating slipping in and out hitting Margo with heavy handed cement fisted shots that could literally have dropped much bigger men. The dancing and foot work that Cotto was using made Floyds work on dancing with the stars look like amatuer night at the Apollo...THE MAN COULD DO NO WRONG.
He got beat up.
Cotto is a great fighter/warrior, but how do you come back from that, to have put on the best performance of your life, only to be preasurred into submission, I think it was the kind of loss that can change a fighter, at the very least his style. There were some moments in that fight, that I caught some looks and body language from Cotto that alluded to what ultimately happened in the fight, looks of desperation truly.
Here's my question, Cotto is coming up on a fight soon and afterwards probably will come a rematch against Margo. Will he be the same? I know there are lots of Cotto fans and I respect you all. but try to be objective here. I'd also like to here what you think Cotto's mental state will be going into a Margo rematch, can he pull the trigger against the man who beat him, I guess im looking to hear your thoughts on Cotto's mental state, was he beaten to the point of being a lesser fighter because of that loss?
